Overview
Polyphony Digital releases the Power Pack expansion for Gran Turismo 7 on December 4, 2025. This paid downloadable content represents the largest single content addition to Gran Turismo 7 since its launch in March 2022. The expansion focuses on adding substantial single-player racing content through new events, a dedicated endurance racing mode, and upgraded artificial intelligence powered by the latest version of Gran Turismo Sophy.
What's Included in the Power Pack
The Power Pack adds fifty new races distributed across twenty different racing categories. These categories span the full spectrum of motorsport disciplines represented in Gran Turismo 7, from touring car championships to prototype racing series. The races integrate into the existing career mode structure, providing new progression paths and championship opportunities for players who have completed the base game content.
The centerpiece of the expansion is a new endurance racing mode designed to simulate the marathon events that define real-world endurance championships. This mode includes full 24-hour race events, replicating the format of legendary races like the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the 24 Hours of Nürburgring. Players can experience these extended races with time acceleration options or compete in real-time if they choose to commit to the full duration.
Full race weekends introduce a more comprehensive competition structure that mirrors professional motorsport. Each weekend includes practice sessions where you can learn the track and tune your vehicle setup, qualifying rounds that determine your starting grid position, and the main race event. This progression teaches you the strategic elements of motorsport preparation and rewards players who invest time in optimizing their approach to each circuit.
Gran Turismo Sophy 3.0 AI System
The Power Pack integrates Gran Turismo Sophy 3.0, the latest iteration of the machine learning-based racing AI that Sony and Polyphony Digital developed in partnership with Sony AI. Sophy differs from traditional racing game AI by learning racing behavior through reinforcement learning rather than following pre-programmed racing lines and behaviors.
In practice, Sophy 3.0 provides more realistic and challenging racing opponents. The AI demonstrates proper racing etiquette, understands defensive driving techniques, and adapts its strategy based on race conditions and your driving behavior. Unlike conventional racing game AI that follows fixed patterns, Sophy can improvise overtaking maneuvers, defend positions intelligently, and race door-to-door without relying on artificial performance boosts.
Additional Content and Credits
The Power Pack includes 5,000,000 in-game credits to help players purchase and upgrade vehicles for the new racing events. This credit bundle provides immediate access to higher-tier vehicles without requiring extensive grinding in the base game. The credits are particularly useful for endurance racing, which often requires specific high-performance vehicles and extensive tuning upgrades to remain competitive over extended race distances.
Pricing and Availability
The Power Pack is a paid expansion available through the PlayStation Store. Polyphony Digital has not announced the exact price, but it will be revealed when the DLC becomes available for pre-order. The expansion requires the base Gran Turismo 7 game to function and is compatible with both PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 versions.
Free SPEC III Update
Alongside the paid Power Pack DLC, Polyphony Digital confirmed that a free SPEC III update will arrive for all Gran Turismo 7 owners next month. The studio has not detailed the contents of this free update, but previous SPEC updates have added new vehicles, tracks, game modes, and quality-of-life improvements to the base game. The SPEC III update will be available to all players regardless of whether they purchase the Power Pack expansion.
Who Should Consider the Power Pack
The Power Pack expansion targets players who have completed the majority of Gran Turismo 7's base game career mode and want substantial new single-player content. If you enjoy endurance racing or want to experience the strategic depth of full race weekends with practice and qualifying sessions, this expansion provides content specifically designed for that experience. The Sophy 3.0 AI also benefits players who find the base game AI too predictable and want more challenging and realistic racing opponents.
Players who primarily focus on Sport Mode online racing or who have not finished a significant portion of the base game career may want to evaluate whether the single-player focused content aligns with their play style before purchasing.
